👑 CB THE MOUSE KING 👑

2021 AQHA gelding 15.1h

By Mightty Mouse (RLBOS) and out of daughter of Zippos Mr Goodbar, who also has An Awesome Mister & Shy Prescription on the bottom side.

🐁 Sweet, quiet, and very trainable. Broke out in March but ridden very lightly all summer due to a major growth spurt. Well started and ready to finish in just about any western event you'd like- pleasure, ranch, or ANY of the pattern classes.

👑 He has been hauled to a couple of shows already to see the sights, and handled it like a pro.

🐁 Best suited to a trainer's program, however he's quiet enough for a capable DIY Amateur or a handy Youth.

👑 lowest of five figures starting with 1️⃣0️⃣🥕🥕🥕. Payment plan available.

🐁 PPEs welcome

🎉Dropping some more educational content to the YouTube channel tonight!🎉

Jumping right in with a controversial topic, but I'm a firm believer that when developing young horses for resale, its my obligation to give them all the foundational tools to give them the best chance at a successful, happy life no matter if they end up with an owner that
🐴believes it's cruel to do anything with horses and they should be "free"... i don't want their newly "feral" status to cause them to hurt themselves or others.
🐴or an owner that believes their horse should behave like a machine and either they are going to MAKE them do something or they are headed down the road.

Luckily for my heart (and my horses) most horse people fall in between those two extremes. Still- it behooves me to prepare them for as much as I can.

It's round bale season here again, and as always, putting them out in the dark. Who wants to wager how many out 12 spook at the giant green marshmallows that sprouted in their paddocks overnight? 🤪🤣🤷‍♀️ (full disclosure: 3 of them have seen them before) my guess is 10. ;-)

Despite the unusual warmth, it was a busy day working horses and JuneBug was totally here for it. 🐞

Fellow horse trainers, take note- because you can only say "I told you thusly" just so many times. 🤪

It's winter... and time to get my "ranch horse" on.

Pretty as a picture, has the field miles, and just enough pleasure horse in her to be a sweet mover. Pretty excited to watch how this one develops, PLUS she's going to be available!

First of the month... once again means new horses in, and new turnout groupings.

These three I know pretty well (two are mine) and I knew it would be either the best idea ever or the worst.

Luckily it seems to be the former. I think Fievel has finally met his match.

Work... having a "job".... creates a huge endorphin release in this one.

Some babies just need to be kept busy. 🤷‍♀️

There's certainly lots of options for lunging equipment for your horse; rope halters, lunging cavessons, etc.. One method for a little more control can be a stud chain on your longeline, but like anything else, there is a particular way you should use it! We've all seen "that person" who runs the chain over the nose and up one side when lunging. This means when they reverse, either they DON'T swap the chain over and the action of the chain is counter to the way you want your horse's body positioned on the circle, or worse, they DO swap the chain, meaning they stop and remove it between directions- running the very real risk of losing control of a fresh horse. #dangerwillrobinsondanger I highly recommend that IF you're going to use a chain, you make sure it can go allllll the way around your horse's nose. This means that when your potentially wild child decides to do an unplanned 180, you can just go with the flow. I like to run the chain through the halter's bottom ring in both directions for the following reasons: 1) it prevents the chain from sagging down and potentially becoming a hazard that can slip into your horse's mouth (think about if your horse should suddenly try to get away backwards), or even potentially entrap a hoof if they are intent on showing you how acrobatic they can really be. 2) it balances the pressure on either side of their chin, making it easier to control your horse's arc, and not inadvertently create problems by making them travel off balance. Some of these big hunt seat horses stand over 17h and tip the scales at 1400# plus... at 5'4" with arthritis in both arms from the shoulders down, I appreciate a chain. However i particularly dont appreciate trying to get that chain to fit, and sit, right when that dinosaur at the end of it is a fractious 2 or 3yo. The easy solution you can see here- We've outfitted most of our longelines with an extra ring. Easy peasy. 🦕 #gettingthembroke #worksmarter #goodforyourhorsegoodforyo

Hey... hay!

We went from being able to hold a party up here to this yesterday.

Bruno & Ella warming up

🦄🏆 1,1,1 in Lvl 1 Youth Eq, 1,3,3 in Youth Eq,. 1,1,1 in Lvl 1 Youth HUS, and 1,1,2 in Youth HUS for Ella Blunt & The Stride Guide today at the ESQHA Fall Show

new friends

It depends on the mare(s)... but really, they can be so much easier. I don't think these two would be running at all except the 3yo geldings are being hooligans nearby. 😂 9yo App mare, Ruby really IS aabout as perfect as I say she is.. and yearling Lainey... well she's the right combination of chill and sass.
